[Elecraft] Fusing power cable on K3

[K8TE]

Bob has it right, when used mobile which I do a lot for QSO parties.  Here is
the rationale:

The pictorial at right is from this author's May 2015, QST, starting on page
35, entitled The Modern Mobile. It clearly represents the correct wiring
scenario, whereas the negative lead goes to the same chassis grounding point
as the battery's chassis ground point. And as shown, the negative lead fuse
should not be removed. The reason is, if the grounding point should lose its
integrity, excessive current could flow through the transceiver's negative
lead. It also prevents a minor ground loop between the leads.

And hello Dave!  I saw some of our Cherryland ARC friends at HamVention
again this year.
